U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence says Nigerian based radical Islamic group Boko Haram is a threat to the U.S. Homeland. They also say in Boko Haram – Emerging Threat to the U.S. Homeland, “U.S. Intelligence Community largely underestimated the potential for Al Qaeda affiliate groups to target the U.S. homeland. The report also says wrongly assessing they had only regional ambitions and threats against the U.S. homeland were merely aspirational.”
